07.19 AEST NDIS savings redirected to aged care Tom McIlroy Tom McIlroy The health minister, Mark Butler, will detail savings from the NDIS on Wednesday, and reveal that some of the savings will go to help older Australians with the provision of essential services like showering, dressing support and continence management. Labor is winding back elements of its aged care reforms, removing out-of-pocket costs for non clinical services in the Support at Home scheme. The government has faced criticism from advocates for elderly people, experts and aged care providers, who said these personal care services are essential for people’s independence and ability to stay at home. The minister for aged care, Sam Rae, said the changes will be effective from 1 October this year. Showering, dressing, continence care – these aren’t optional extras. They’re the basics of ageing with dignity, and no older Australian should miss out because of cost. Older Australians, their families and providers told us these services needed to be protected. We’ve listened, and we’re acting.

Don't you fucking dare pit one group of disabled Australians against another

Can you imagine?

Walter (27) and Frieda (25) Bergmann disembark from the SS Bremen in New York.

They left a ravaged Weimar Republic, and most of their family behind in Germany.

Walter was a WWI POW.
Frieda had rickets as a child.
A new life awaits.

My grandparents.

I think of you every time I go to Ballarat, and when I think of you, I think of you as human.

Therefore,

They kicked me off the other site for a week.

I wished ill on someone who had wished ill on me.

So, I have not had much contact with any humans.

Are you a human.

Have you ever watched the sunrise over the Guildford Plateau?

Delicate, elegant fingers of light…

Have you ever seen the sun rise over the Guildford Plateau?

As long as it doesn’t cost me a fortune, it would be good.

A photo of an advertising sign in Central Station Sydney. It has a picture of a young child holding a birthday cake with ‘10’ candles. They are in a prison. It says ‘In NSW 10 year olds can be sent to prison. That is too young.’ It send people to raisetheagensw.org.au

Many thousands of people are learning that in NSW our Government sends 10 year olds to prison. This month cinema advertising winds up along with digital, tv, radio and outdoor. Like this ad in Central Station this morning.

I resent being called a chicken. But I admit to being afraid a lot. 😉

Just you wait. Quoll is gonna get you.

very deaded

❤️

Easy for you to laugh. You have obviously never been killed by a Quoll.🙄

Not a bad place to rest.

Yes, I am up for the care and attention required, but I agree that it’s a thing to properly set up a coup

♥️ So good to hear from you comrade. I hope you’re doing well.

It would be a good idea to get some chickens.
Some chooks.

The last three times I went grocery shopping, they were out of eggs.

It seems like a challenge to set up a coup, etc.
We have foxes, snakes, and phascogales to worry about.

I will give you one (1) dollar to help me sort it out.
ONE DOLLAR

Quolls are very dangerous.
I was killed by one once.
Beware.
